SOC Analyst (Security Team)

MEDIATECH

Mediatech is one of the fastest-growing digital publishing houses, reaching over 25 million people every month across Cybernews, Wellness Pulse, InvestorsObserver, and our wider network.

We deliver trusted, independently researched insights across tech, cybersecurity, health, and finance. Our investigations have exposed major security issues at NASA, WhatsApp, ChatGPT, PayPal, LinkedIn, and the Red Cross, and uncovered the largest-ever password leak (RockYou2024).

We’re a team driven by curiosity, impact, and fast growth - and we’re looking for people who want to build with us.

SECURITY TEAM

We build detections that matter. Our Security team protects web platforms, data pipelines, and internal systems by combining sharp monitoring, practical security engineering, and real collaboration with developers and infrastructure teams. We focus on visibility, meaningful alerts, and staying ahead of evolving threats.

YOU

You enjoy digging into alerts, separating noise from real threats, and improving detections so they actually work in practice. You’re comfortable with SIEM platforms, log analysis, and tuning rules, but you also think beyond the alert itself - understanding attacker behaviour, spotting gaps, and helping strengthen our overall security posture. Curious, hands-on, and detail-driven, you like security work that has real impact.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own alert triage and tuning: review alerts, reduce false positives, and improve detection quality through well-crafted rules and detection logic
• Help build and shape our security monitoring function-contributing to detection strategy grounded in MITRE ATT&CK, not just day-to-day rule maintenance
• Analyse alerts tied to website, tracking, and data pipelines-spot gaps, confirm incidents, and recommend fixes
• Create and maintain detection logic (rules, decoders, thresholds) and supporting documentation
• Operate SIEM manager/agents and work with log sources to ensure reliable telemetry
• Build and maintain dashboards and reports to track alert health and detection coverage
• Collaborate with developers, product and platform teams to validate detections and close the loop on remediation
• Help automate routine investigation steps and alert enrichment with simple scripts or playbooks
• Contribute to incident investigations when escalated, providing clear findings and suggested next steps
   
   

WHAT WE EXPECT

• 2+ years of experience in SOC, SecOps, security monitoring, or a similar hands-on security role

• Practical experience with SIEM platforms, including alert tuning, rule creation, and log analysis
• Understanding of MITRE ATT&CK and how to translate attacker techniques into effective detections
• Familiarity with web technologies, tracking systems, and how activity appears across logs and telemetry
• Confidence working with log parsing, regex, and search/analytics platforms during investigations
• Basic scripting skills (Python, Bash, or similar) to automate repetitive tasks and enrich alerts
• Strong analytical mindset with attention to detail and a methodical approach to investigations
• Clear communication skills and ability to collaborate with engineers and non-security stakeholders
• Curiosity, ownership, and willingness to continuously improve detection quality and monitoring capabilities
• Experience with threat hunting or building detection playbooks would be a strong advantage

• Exposure to cloud environments and SIEM ecosystem integrations is a plus
